Why Camp Here
The campground is on a hidden part of the Deschutes River mixed in with a subdivision south of Bend. It might look like you are driving up someone’s dirt driveway as you follow the signs, but you will end up in a small little used campground that is perfect for a couple families to camp together or for a small to medium group from the area. The campground doesn’t offer enough to draw in campers from far away, but it is a perfect locals spot especially since you can almost always count on getting a site even at the last minute.
Good to Know
The price is right but there is NO DRINKING WATER, however stores are close by to the east. The road is rutted and the campground is not recommended for large RVs or trailers.
RV use rating 2 out of 5
This is an non-hosted campground which means that it is watched over by an attendant from another campground who will visit from two to four times per day.
Directions
Google Maps: Pringle Falls Loop, Deschutes National Forest, La Pine, OR 97739, USA@43.74069,-121.61346000000003
From La Pine OR head northeast on US-97 towards 3rd St, then turn left onto Burgess Rd. Follow for about 8 miles, then continue on Pringle Falls Loop for about a mile until you reach the entrance to the campground.
If you are traveling on Forest Service Road 43 as you go over the Deschutes River on a bridge, you might notice a sign that says Pringle Falls. That sign is for the falls themselves, but the turn into the campground is about a quarter mile east of there on FS 43.
